Coffee and a banana
At about 11 o'clock.

Usually staves things off until lunchtime, at any rate.

Wise words Croseph
I had a banana at around 10.45am and I've just finished my third coffee.

My usual grazing for the day includes apple for breakfast and banana at 11. I'm thinking of trying a detox fast tomorrow, where I'm only supposed to drink fruit and veg smoothies. I might die though.

Ugh...'detox.'
Sorry, but that word really grates on me. I'm sure you don't believe this rubbish the way some people do, but it does conjure up this misconception that most of the food we eat is full of "toxins" and that we're poisoning our bodies by eating anything which is not fresh fruit, vegetables or distilled, deionised water. Which, of course, is horse-shit of the highest order.

I can appreciate that there are benefits to taking a few days off the sauce or easing off the fatty foods for a bit, but I want to get this word 'detox' out of common circulation.

Anybody who books a weekend in one of those fucking "Detox Spas" or similar Institutions of Myth-Peddling

I did put some quite toxic substances into my body at the weekend
so it's more of a festival clean-out than some new age hippy bollocks.
